Pull vfs fixes from Darrick Wong:
"I was auditing the sync_fs code paths recently and noticed that most
callers of ->sync_fs ignore its return value (and many implementations
never return nonzero even if the fs is broken!), which means that
internal fs errors and corruption are not passed up to userspace
callers of syncfs(2) or FIFREEZE. Hence fixing the common code and
XFS, and I'll start working on the ext4/btrfs folks if this is merged.
Summary:
- Fix a bug where callers of ->sync_fs (e.g. sync_filesystem and
syncfs(2)) ignore the return value.
- Fix a bug where callers of sync_filesystem (e.g. fs freeze) ignore
the return value.
- Fix a bug in XFS where xfs_fs_sync_fs never passed back error
returns"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
